Vijay Prashad on BRICS & Why Global South Cooperation Is Key to Dismantling Unjust World Order

- As a two-day BRICS summit gets underway in South Africa, we speak with author and analyst Vijay Prashad about whether the bloc - which comprises Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - can meaningfully challenge U.S. and Western domination in world affairs by building an alternative forum for countries of the Global South. BRICS countries represent 40% of the world's population and a quarter of the world's economy, and the group is now considering a possible expansion to more than 20 other countries. "BRICS is an instrument to push forward their political views, which they feel are not taken seriously," says Prashad, director of the Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. Prashad explains the history of BRICS and its New Development Bank and responds to criticism that BRICS falsely portrays itself as an anti-imperialist project. The BRICS countries "are not a socialist bloc," says Prashad, but they "don't want to do what the West tells them - they're driving their own agenda."

I bet 90% of American don't know BRICS is.
@@Affluence1+ But they know who is the American Idol winner!
basically the majority of the democrats, power to the people!
As time goes on, Americans will find out. It will be very bad for them.😂
@Liukanginthehouse ehh, the majority of most voters from both major parties tbh. Americans only care about petty internal issues and have no problem with what the US empire does abroad.
We are quite aware of what BRICS is. We're just not really worried about it because there are some massive problems with the organization to hurdle.

Thank you for having Vijay Prashad on your show, Amy. He is my go-to guy.
Did Vijay ever disclose where that $25 million dollars from a donor fund at Goldman Sachs actually came from?
And does he still support genocide in Xinjiang and Ukraine?
yep. The two guests yesterday were Western stooges.
Ok, NazBol@@Western_Decline
I respect Mr Vijay Prashad’s understanding of Brics anytime over your other commentators! Thank you for having him on!👍
Well spoken Vijay. Always advocating for an intellectual and materialist view of events. Too many are quick to judge based on preconceptions. Let BRICS build, experiment, and allow participants to decide if the result is beneficial to them.
Russia and China are failing and will take down Brasil, South Africa, and India. India and Brasil could do very well, but not as long as they cooperate with war criminals that want to destroy democracy @
Experiment?... with millions of lives and their quality of life?
@@chuckdeezy_313much better than being colonised
@@teckchuonting4582 agreed. Noone said "go for colonization". Colonization is, and Has been the problem. Get All of these economic and resources predators completely out of Africa. Africa Will Suffer but consider it a necessary part of the process. Growing pains, if you will.
But, BE HONEST.... Corruption is Equal to Every African Nations' Worst problem- if not the #1 Worst problem the continent faces.
@@teckchuonting4582 BRICS is simply just another form of neo-colonisation.
Thank you for having Vijay Prashad on! He’s one of the most honest intellectuals that can be trusted. Always pay attention to anything he has to say, raw & insightful.
😂 if you like Chinese propaganda
@@Wackalacka This conversation is for serious adults. Sit down
Brazil President Lula said clearly that the BRICS don't want to fight and engage on military affairs and don't want to be a rival of G7 or G20.
But to be an alternative to the north developed economies monetary control and exploitation that benefits only themselves and give only hunger and poverty as they rise rich.
Hi Amy and Juan. I have been very critical of Democracy Now with the type of guests you brought on lately on world affairs. Ngwenya and Bond were two of those retrograde guests with jaundiced and uninformed views of BRICS and its role in global trade relations. Vijay is one true progressive guest that I can listen to all day every day!!! Well done for bringing him on!!! I wish he can come on more regularly! 👏👏👏
Did Vijay ever disclose where that $25 million dollars from a donor fund at Goldman Sachs actually came from?
And does he still support genocide in Xinjiang and Ukraine?
@@GrimLocke161You are a liar.
Had a similar conversation here recently. I think Vijay stopped coming on DN for a while because of something like this. but the way i see it, DN has always tried to have both sides of the argument. I think the rational is that the progressive side comes off better for the challenge. on that note it is one of the few "alternative" media that does this, (i.e not sticking to their camp alone). I think even among progressives that can lead to a buble, or at least a lack of traction with non-political viewers. anyways, that's my 2-cents, been seeing a lot of people criticizing DN for lately for something i feel they have always done. But perhaps they should be kept in check also ofc.. it is nice to see Vijay back here again in any case.
@@JoaoSantos-lv4rc Vijay supports Genocide in Xinjiang and Ukraine. That’s why he isn’t welcome.
Sometimes, one needs to get both sides arguments to understand the full figure. We always need to understand the opposite camp scheme in order to strike back efficiently. 😉
Vijay is brilliant as always. Kudos to this channel for having him on.
Thanks. I think this is good. Anything that helps push back against the political imperialism & corporate colonialism of Western industrialized countries is probably for the better. Certainly for them, probably for everyone. tavi.
I'm saying. Shalom to Brics+ and it's new members, yay oh yeah!!!!!! Democracy with a capital D !
I am skeptical.
the majority of these leaders are hard line conservative demagogues, often economically right wing.
Trump is an alternative to US world power too, but it's not a better alternative.
Hi Amy, Juan and the Democracy Now Team, Keep up the great work! It would be great to allow more interview time especially with a guest like Vijay Prashad. This was a great conversation with insights that one will only get through independent news sources.
Why is Juan always at home ?
I will definitely be looking for videos of Vijay Prashad. Hopefully there will be some where he is featured in forums. I’m no academic, just a knowledge hungry autodidact, so it can be difficult to delve into complex subjects when lacking the lexicon. Mr Prashad seems a natural teacher as he loops around to set into understandable context his necessary jargon. I love when a brilliant mind is fueled by passion.
Vijay is a top man
Mr. Putin Absence Is Not Out Of Fear Of Arrest, But Not To Put South Africa In Difficult Situation.
it is still quite pathetic for south africa come to this unsettled situation.
Thank you. Putin is not afraid, he just doesn't want the Summit to be marred by this so arrest.
Right. Those who are paying attention, who haven't taken the kool-aid, know that the charges against Putin are absolutely ridiculous.
Putin's Legacy of Weakness continues! 🤣😂
@MaheshMahesh-gz9fv EXCELENTE ANÁLISE!!! Diplomacia, Inteligência e fortalecer a parceria.
He has a point. Africa, Latin America & India are apart of this world too and should have a say and be a permanent membership on the UN Security Council. How do you expect to obtain world peace without them?
That tells you that even we American don’t understand democracy. That is wrong but everyone is afraid to challenge our leaders. We don’t do what we preach but we tell others to follow democracy
I agree. Russia should be booted from security council and open two new slots. Russia never applied to the security council, while the rest of post Soviet countries did apply to UN, plus Russia broke the rules of being on the security council by invading Ukraine
The security council is pointless. Right now it's the same as Hitler having veto power, so the chair and seats are literally pointless.
@@TKUA11 This is because the UN is used as a geopolitical cudgel by the US going back to Korea. If your standards of breaking the so-called rules is an unskeptical ahistorical assertion of invasion, I invite you to look at the continuity of blatant invasion and "regime change" history perpetrated by the US which led to such geopolitical reactions and includes Ukraine itself in 2004 _and_ 2014, culminating in the brazen invasion of Iraq killing at least a million Iraqis.
Iran in '53 overthrowing democratically elected Mossadegh to prevent nationalization of oil and installing the Shah, Guatemala in '54 to prevent democratically elected Arbenz from mild land redistribution, Sukarno in Indonesia putting in Suharto who would invade East Timor backed by the US, Lumumba in the Congo (hell, speaking of the UN, UN sec.gen.Dag Hammarskjöld's plane shot down at the request of the CIA using rogue Belgian mercenary pilot - Belgium of course having its stakes in the Congo since Leopold), the _first_ 9/11 in '73 overthrowing democratically elected Allende to put in Pinochet's military dictatorship, my god this is merely the _tip_ of the imperialist iceberg - and this is of course _besides_ the overt depravity of Korea (killing 20% of its population), Vietnam (including Cambodia, Laos as revealed by Pentagon Papers)...
As pointed out by Vijay in this very video, the US has positioned itself as the "consumer of last resort" at the end of the global supply chain to absorb inevitable overproduction of capitalism through cheap consumption or of course through our favorite activity of war/arms sales (military Keynesianism, the only button we can push at this point clearly), launching itself to hegemony post-WWII via imposing the Bretton-Woods international financial system with the US dollar as the "global reserve currency" using the leverage of being the only industrialized nation-state _not_ bombed to shit and taking the imperial baton from the British and their pound sterling.
NATO is an arms distribution network for the military industrial complex and essentially the public face of a European sphere of US domination, covertly enforced by a "strategy of tension" tactic of deliberately directed domestic terrorism seen in things like Operation Gladio in Italy (see: "years of lead", Aldo Moro assassination, Bologna bombings, etc.) with parallel operations in every NATO country where the CIA directed explicitly fascist paramilitary insurgencies ("stay-behind" armies, justified under a familiar appeal to a nonexistent manichean threat) to stoke public fear toward particular goals favorable to US corporate/finance capital and continued US hegemony. Its internally recognized geopolitical functionality as succinctly put by its first sec.gen Lord Ismay was to, _"keep the Americans in, the Germans down, and the Russians out"_ and hey, what a "coincidence", it appears to continue to enforce this state of affairs, at quite literally all costs - especially obvious when noting the industrial sabotage of Nord Stream II clearly perpetrated by the US against Germany (a callback to interwar Germany and its imposed separation by Western powers to prevent a socialist-aligned industrial base which the Bolsheviks were _explicitly_ counting on for the USSR project to have any chance at success).
Russia has long insisted on a halt to NATO expansion and the removal of weapons, troops, and war games from its borders -- the very thing the U.S. would demand if Russian missiles were in Canada and did demand when Soviet missiles were in Cuba (deescalated primarily by removing nuclear missile sites in Turkey). Nuclear apocalypse is the ultimate destination of endless escalation which thanks to the material interests staked in entrenching global bourgeoisie dictatorship over the global working class achieved under the pretext of the "cold" war (not very "cold" when, say, engulfed in napalm...) happens to be the raison d'être of the US natsec state since its inception; the divine right of "the market", the management of savagery, a means to no ends - where all possibility is strictly bound to profitability and everything and everyone, including the very planet itself, is for sale for the privatized profits of insatiable individual psychopaths who despite having everything only ever want more...

Greetings from the Zionist Empire. We admire the BRICS for the following reasons. China is exporting low cost products from the Yughur, "Vocational training schools". Mr. Mohdi is an example of how to treat a Muslim population. And South Africa has a great electric grid.
I respect Mr Vijay Prashad . He speaks facts and to the point no emotions or biases .
I so love this Indian guy. He speaks facts. Stay blessed sir
Happy to see BRICS doing their thing and making connections. It’s about time the dollar got replaced after what the U.S. did with it.
*5 Reasons why the BRICS currency will fail.*
B) Nobody trusts Brasil economically because they keep flipping from radical Left to radical Right presidents. Despite some fairly decent development and technological advancements their main industries are soccer players and ripping down the Amazon rainforest for cattle to make McDonalds hamburgers.
R) Nobody trusts Russia to do anything economically or much else. There main industries are resources and selling the worlds most popular form of population control - the AK47.
I) Nobody trusts India economically because they are a giant basket case of corruption.
C) Nobody trusts China and their economy is a bigger basket case that anyone else's and the environmental damage is disastrous. They have damaged or destroyed over around 30,000 rivers, creeks and waterways.
S) Nobody trusts South Africa because they are so hopelessly corrupt.
BONUS REASON - The Bank of International Settlements which is the bank where all of our central banks settle out all the foreign currencies they hold reported in December 2022 that there are now over $100 Trillion in Foreign Exchange swaps being held by various banks and non-banking entities. A massive amount of that is not only in US$ but those US$ are held by NON-Americans who trade internationally in US$. *Does anyone actually think that all those people who have relied on the US$ for international trade for 70+ years are just going to swap 10s of Trillions into a currency run by the Brazilians, Russians, Indians, Chinese or South Africans when those countries have the issues they have?*
I'm patiently waiting for this time.. the fall of the dollar will bring many benefits to the world.

This was a good discussion of BRICS, its history and its likely future
BRICS and New Development Bank is far more compassionate humanistic than IMF and be free from the collective west bondage
relying on china is the same as leaning on a broken staff
The money from the BRICS bank will go to the African leaders. Nothing will go to the poor people.
What happened to the COVID funds that was given to South Africa? It is gone due to corruption.
@aceous99 wrong. That sort of black and white, both sides are the same centrist thinking is exactly what I expect from someone ignorant of the history of China and the West. China has no invaded half the world. China has no instituted sanctions or blockades without reason against other nations. China is concentrating on lifting its own people up. Can't say the same for the USA
Vijay Prashad explains it so that anyone can understand the geopolitical issues. Thank you for having him on.
He spreads propaganda, nothing more.
Congratulations Amy and Juan for getting such a knowledgeable and articulate guest like Prashad.
Goodjob Prashad. Will keep looking out for your videos.
Unfortunately they are filled with more hope than realism
I never get tired of listening to Vijay. Great guest.
Thanks guys. Thanks ,Vijay. I am am looking forward to the debates and outcome of the BRICS Summit. Its a new era indeed.🧚♂️
Nice to hear a different opinion.
Very informative interview with Prof Prashad..thankyou
I love him. ❤ So smart and honest
The irony about making peace is that it is not a one-way street, the other side also has to come to a mutual understanding in order for peace to be achieved. In Russia's case there are certain security guarantees that they will not condone. It's like the US not tolerating enemy nuclear missiles in a neighboring country but expect that Russia must accept US missiles in Ukraine.
the missiles in the ukraine belong to the ussr, they weren't planted by the US. Perhaps Putin can buy them back?
The US doesn’t need nukes anywhere in Europe. The majority of their nukes reside on subs sitting in the ocean.
Perfect analysis, weldone sir 🤝👏👏
Very thought provoking discusion; thank you.
Debt creation for countries so that their citizens can't barely survive, but to be stuck In paying debt? That was really evil! 🛐 For the world.
无知
But just think about the potential investment opportunities.
Kidding, obviously this system is cruel and unsustainable.
Yup… that’s what the US does with the dollar. Same thing for EU with the Euro. It’s the same corrupt bastards in charge however.
Both IMF and World banks are based in Washington. USA controlled both organisations.
USD is a weapon.
You talk about FMI?
So why can't America be held accountable for war crimes?
Who is going to hold them accountable?
The question should be, why can't the United States and Europe be held accountable and responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity, corruption, atrocities, evils and wars of aggression.
The US would literally invade a country to free their war criminals.
It's funny hearing my fellow americsns act appalled that Russia didn't view the ICC as having legitimate power over its citizens, when the US has the same view.
American War criminals are always seen as redeemable and punishment is painted as punishing patriots. The torture, death, suffering, etc for the US empire is almost always justified and the perpetrators are shielded from any consequences.
Even too much that the USA could carry.

BRICS is focused on their own growth! Couldn't bother with the US
As it should be.
It's partly because of the US's stranglehold on trade that these countries are working together..

@@MisterN1 Don't give a single f**k about another country, but if your accusations are leveled against India, they don't withstand basic scrutiny.

BRICS is focused on a new era of regional imperialism. The guest says as much in the interview.

@@sume151even I who did not attend chinese university and is of Latin american origin can see through India bipartisan and anti-China pro-globalism approach.
Of course the global South should work together in peaceful and benevolent trade, and they should work for the betterment of their respective countries. But Russia and China are not the global south, and if they are intended to be part of this initiative I expect that these countries will have many challenges which will only become more significant over time.

Great analysis by Vijay! I think no country should have veto power at the UN it should be majority voting if they really believe in democracy.
You finally got someone good for your BRICS analysis. Get rid of that Trevor guy.
You mean they got a sycophant for their BRICS analysis. 🙄
I, for one, am glad there are countries that can get together and build relationships that will allow their own interests to be best expressed and to break the stranglehold the banker cabal has on the other country blocs(imf over nato, etc). It should help us all resist the insane globalists currently trying to subjugate everyone.
Vijay is a legend do not despair history has a way of ridding despots no matter what form they take we a fortunate to be a witness to the most recent selling democracy to the rest of the world 😢
The US has designed an excellent mechanism of global financial control through IMF and WB. Money borrowers have to accept political conditions increasing the US influence to the level of control. This control is used to prevent any effective usage of the credit. Borrowing countries get in trouble to return the credit and lose independence. The mechanism is perfect. Let's see what China will develop to get money back and to get something more than just money.
The thing about making a deal with China is like making the deal with the devil. If you look at what countries there is in BRICs the rule of law doesn't really apply and it's dictatorships hiding in plain sight. For all the faults of the West there is at least some rule and law.
Perfect you said?😮
If the IMF did not exist, Ghana was bankrupt two months ago. Maybe countries should fail with chaos, violence and jobs lost and part famine. Maybe be less ideologic.

Hey hey good to hear from Vijay again.🎉 Strong voice!
Very interesting and insightful take! 💎
True, BRICS is not anti-imperialist movement considering Russia, China and India are autocratic.
You're confusing domestic policy with foreign policy. It's possible for a country's government to autocratic without being an Empire, and visa versa.
😅 India is Autocratic...last I checked we have fair election and unlike USA always have Smooth peaceful transfer of power unlike Resurrections😅...and We don't Supress Minority votes (even criminals vote in India to ensure adult suffrage)...but one particular does this and call itself leader of fee world
One should also consider that Russia, China and India are not monarchies unlike some champions of democracy in west. A 4 year term doesn’t make one form of government a better democracy.
India autocratic? Lollll go and read some books india is a democracy and a better democracy than you lot who have to go to court to get your ejections and who doesn’t ask for us to vote corruption is USA
This is outstanding. All news should be like this - even if its in total disagreement.
This system is good at Judging for competition but poor at Judging people according to the law.
Very nicely explained , sir
Awesome talk. Thanks for the education. I'm always enriched by Democracy Now. 👏👏👏
Beautiful ✨Humans✨! What we focus on is what grows. Instead of focusing on the "The New World Order," let's instead focus on a NEW WORLD where compassionate and heart-led leadership effectively collaborates and allows love to "steer the stars" toward a better and more productive healing way forward. Global coherence is not only possible, but it IS IMPERATIVE. Let's focus on THIS beautiful vision instead! Bless you ALL!! ✨🙌🏽✨
Vijay Prasad is my hero! Pride of Bengal!
Wow, that was an amazing talk. I learned so much and am curious to know more. Vijay is so well spoken. He explains everything so simply. Will check out his article. Thanks from Pakistan!
Correction:
Putin decided not to attend, to avoid putting South Africa in a difficult situation of not fulfilling what it signed (clearly illadvisedly) on as a signatory of the ICC.
Our government had already stated that not only were we not going to arrest Putin, we had neither the desire nor the capacity to do so.
So Putin didn't stay away to "avoid arrest".
In addition the U.S. does not even recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC and voted against the Rome Statute. There's too many elites in the US that'd have to be thrown in prison otherwise.
Top tier level cope there my good vatnik.
Start by treating people in your country justly. And continue by treating all countries justly
US needs an intervention, it would seem.

That is not why Jesus came, lol. This is a ridiculous statement
You have clearly never read The Bible.
BRICS is far less militaristic than the western countries, so for that reason alone we should applaud its rise.
Good interview 👍
The frustrated idea of a Russian currency minted in South Africa traded by China and India with Brazil's help replacing the USD is laughable.
I want to see Mr Vijay Prasad on his own TH-cam channel...
Very knowledgeable Person .
Thank you for the recap of the reasons what BRICS was suppose to add value to world order.
Sometimes the west has been painting BRICS from their perspective, saying it to dethrone USD or fighting against the West, so that we forget what the BRICS is really trying to achieve. Although there is a lot of truth to it now, it is trying to help the global south to actually build up their societies through infra / education etc, which is so fundamental to the future of these countries.
Some really good insights here.
